There once was a bar… The featured shot was a Blow Job. I don’t know what was in it but they sold a LOT of them. All these cute little waitresses running around asking (mostly the guys), “Would you like a Blow Job?” I mean, how many would say no? ---

[QUOTE=Hoopy Frood] Pruno. […] Not to be consumed unless really, really desparate for booze, say, for example, you live in a prison. [/QUOTE] Sounds like that one could actually be _improved_ by kraut juice. ---

My favorite name for a drink is a “Jennifer’s Orgasm” (and not just because half of my female friends happen to be named Jennifer…) Equal parts Spiced Rum and Buttershots, served as a shot. My room mate theorized that if you substituded Everclear for the Rum, you would call it “Jennifer’s Screaming Orgasm” ---

[QUOTE=scotandrsn] Once they had a party based around the **Toxic Waste** : Vodka Chocolate Milk [/QUOTE] In college we used Nestlé Quik and called this a **Quik Fix**. A much tastier (and more tasteful) potation is the **Long Island Egg Cream**. In a tall tumbler, combine about 2 shots of milk and 1 shot of chocolate syrup. Stir till a nice deep brown. Stir in white goods to taste (I recommend rum, but I suppose vodka will do). Fill with soda water. ---

[QUOTE=Harbinger of Courteous Debate] Slow Comfortable Screw. 1/2 oz. Southern Comfort, 1 oz. Sloe gin, orange juice. Pour Sloe gin and Southern Comfort into a Collins glass filled with ice. Fill with orange juice, stir well, and serve. [/QUOTE] I went to bartending school once (never could find a job in the field afterwards). The way I learned it, it’s called a Slow Comfortable Screw Against the Wall and has the above incredients plus vodka. (“Wall” in a drink name is a code indicating vodka, compare Harvey Wallbanger.) I had to invent my own drink as a final project so I came up with the “Scotch Engineer”: 1 oz. Scotch, 1 oz. gin, club soda and ice. Never, ever try this. Bad things happen when you let a pun drive a recipe. ---

[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] You could say the same for akvavit and vodka. [/QUOTE] Akvavit means “water of life,” but vodka means “little water” _(voda,_ “water,” with the diminutive particle _-ka_ added). Tequila with hot sauce is called a “Prairie Fire” – I always thought that was cool. ---

I’ve long held the opinion that most of the drinks that imply sexual acts were invented by female bartenders who were propositioned one too many times. So the next time some clown answered the question, “What can I get for you?” with “How about sex on the beach?”, he was served exactly what he asked for 😃 ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] Akvavit means “water of life,” but vodka means “little water” _(voda,_ “water,” with the diminutive particle _-ka_ added). [/QUOTE] Right, but the original name of the spirit was _zhizennia voda_, so the modern name is still _derived_ from “water of life.” ---
